Do you mean Rush and Voodoo2 don't work with the older games? I thought maybe they did, I'm not sure.
The reason Rush broke Glide was that it supports rendering in a window. A lot of functions were removed and new ones added. One of the new ideas introduced, for example, was a variable stride, since your window can be resized at any time.
The linear frame buffer access was also completely changed. Plus a few other things I forget right now...
